AMD CrossFire™ (Multi-GPU) Technology
AMD CrossFire™ is a multi-GPU performance gaming platform. By linking together
two or more discrete GPUs, CrossFire™ can significant improve system graphics
performance. It allows the ability to scale a system's graphics power as needed,
making it the most scalable gaming platform. This motherboard will automatically
detect CrossFire™ technology and make changes in the BIOS as needed. Follow the
instructions below to ensure a successful two-way CrossFire™ installation.
1.
Install two AMD Radeon™ HD graphics cards into the PCI_E2 & PCI_E5
expansion slots.
2.
With the two cards installed, an optional CrossFire™ Video Link cable is required
to connect the graphics cards. Attach one side of the cable on each of the cards
by way of the metal contacts (please refer to the picture below). Please note that
although two graphics cards have been installed, only the display ports on the
graphics card installed in the first PCIe x16 slot will work. All displays should be
connected to this graphics card.
Important
Please ensure that all graphics cards used in CrossFire™ mode are of the same
•
brand and specifications. For best compatibility with the motherboard, MSI graphics
cards are recommended.
•
Make sure to connect an adequate power supply to the power connectors on the
graphics cards to ensure stable operation.
